Summary

This feature adds support for Websockets to Firefox, as defined by the IETF working group.

Who's working on this?

Pat's the lead on this, both in terms of code but also in the IETF working group as well.

Release Requirements

We should have support for the full Websockets API, based on the last version of the draft that makes major on-the-wire protocol changes. It should also have full tests and undergone interoperability testing.

Next Steps

We're currently waiting to see if there are any major changes coming to the on-the-wire protocol. There were some items left that came out of the recent IETF meeting at the end of March that may require some code changes.
